Ajusco, Extinct volcano in Mexico City, Mexico
The Ajusco volcano reaches an elevation of 3,930 meters and forms part of the Sierra de Ajusco-Chichinauhtzin mountain range in Mexico City.
Archaeological excavations at the summit have revealed pre-Hispanic artifacts dating back to the 12th century, indicating early human settlements in the area.
The name originates from Nahuatl language, meaning 'source of waters', reflecting its role as a water catchment area for Mexico City's population.
Multiple hiking trails lead to the summit, offering different difficulty levels for visitors who want to reach the peak throughout the year.
The volcano lacks a typical crater formation due to a major collapse during an ancient eruption millions of years ago.
